The GBC A425pro dial a blade rotary cutter is
jam packed with great features for a small price tag. The A425 includes
GBC's innovative dial-a-blade technology allowing the user to easily
switch between straight cutting, perforating, scoring and weave
cutting. Although the other three features are also useful, this
article is going to focus on the ability of the A425pro rotary trimmer
to act as a scoring device.
The A425pro dial-a-blade cutter is one of the most inexpensive scoring
devices available on the market. At under $80 shipped, the A425 is
affordable for almost any budget. This makes it ideal for individuals
who wish to do their own short run perfect binding and need to create
their own covers. For such individuals, a $1000 scoring device is not
usually an option. However, the Accucut A425pro makes scoring both easy
and affordable.
The GBC Accucut A425pro is primarily a rotary cutter and works just
like any rotary trimmer. However, the A425 allows you to easily switch
the blade of the trimmer over to a dull scoring blade that is not
designed for cutting but instead is designed for creasing paper for
easier folding. The fact that the A425 was designed as a cutter makes
it easy to square up your document using the score marks on the
document table. Then just like you would cut a piece of paper you run
the scoring blade across the paper to provide a nice clean crease line.
Truthfully, the A425 doesn't do as good of a job as the more expensive
DocuCrease Scoring devices. However, at one tenth of the price the A425
is ideal for low volume users who are on a budget. It is certainly
better than the alternative (a dull butter knife). Plus, when you
aren't using the GBC A425 as a scoring device you can always use it as
a paper trimmer or a perforator.
